You have no idea what the person you're talking about knows or doesn't know, so your comment is ironic.

But enough about your emotional life. Do you have any interesting reason for saying this?
- dimgl 3y agoI'm surprised you think it's emotional. Seems pretty rational to me. I thought Node.js's selling point is the event loop and its non-blocking nature, and how convenient it is to be able to write both your backend and frontend code in a shared runtime. The arguments against that paradigm, mostly around callback hell and promise chaining, have gone away with async/await. So I stand by my assessment that these parts are probably the best parts of Node.js. There are many other parts of Node.js which need work, but it's weird when the thing to call out is its asynchronicity when that part of the language is usually the thing people like.
